DJI Care Refresh – Is it worth to get? Top 9 reasons why

Drone insurance is something not many people think of because they believe it's expensive.

But with DJI introducing the new DJI Care Refresh﻿﻿﻿﻿ plans for drones like Mavic, Spark, Inspire and the new Phantom 4 series there's no reason to fear anymore.

In my experience you'll be close to pooping your pants at least once every 3 flights, especially if you try to challenge the maximum range for the DJI Mavic.

At those moments you wish you had some backup in case anything happened.

Drone crashes don't just happen to a few un​lucky people that post it on youtube video compilations. NO! It's almost certain you'll do something to damage your drone even if you're super careful about it.

For example, I totally hit my DJi Spark with My Mavic. Fortunately almost nothing happened, they are pretty tough, but imagine a fall from 100m...​

I think you got it by now.

What's the difference between DJI Care and DJI Care refresh?

​Dji Care has been an aditional service offered starting with the Phantom 3 series, that allows you to get your broken drone parts replaced with new ones with no aditional cost.

Today we're talking mostly about DJI Care REFRESH, which is pretty much DJI care for drones newer than the Mavic (including it).

The items covered by DJI care are:

Inspire 2

DJI Phantom 4 Pro

DJI Phantom 4 Advanced

DJI Spark

Mavic Pro

Inspire cameras: Zenmuse x4s and x5s

You can get your parts replaced for free, while they also pay for shipping, and you can also get 2 new replacement units for a small fee. So basically you can mess up twice and get 2 brand new drones during the 12 months of DJI care waranty.

If not, you can buy it right now along with your drone and activate it when it arrives.

Top 9 reasons why you should get DJI Care Refresh

1.It covers water damage.

​The older DJI care didn't cover it, but the Care refresh Package helps your peace of mind when fliying above water. However, keep in mind, that you still need the soaked drone to send to them. If you lose it in the sea and can't find it, adios!However, if you drop some water on it, or lose it in a shallow lake from which you can recover it, then everyting should be fine.

2.It covers Pilot errors too.

​This means that if you're a bad pilot and hit a tree or a house, you're good to go. DJI Care doesn't CARE about that... it will get your drone replaced!

3.You can replace almost all the parts for free.

3.You can replace almost all the parts for free.

​For the Mavic and Spark you can replace the following:

new camera

gimbal

battery

propellers

For the Phantom 4 Pro

Gimbal

Camera

Propellers

Inspire 2

Propellers

However, keep in mind that you get the entire drones replaced for a small fee if the damage can't be repaired in the terms above, so there's no crack about it 😉

I love quads and UAV's in general. Being the founder of DronesBuyer.com, I plan on making it the go to place for most things drone-related. I have still much to learn and can't wait to exchange info with the community.
